Chapter 48
Fengbei plans to stay up late and work overtime.

I don't know what to draw.

Yueyan and Douxie have their own important tasks, one is to make new clothes, the other is to copy scriptures, both of which are related to their respective ways of practice.

The clues to Shi Wentong's case have been broken, and the three of them bid farewell.

Leaving the two of them alone, Feng Bei jumped onto the roof and headed towards the west of the city.

Wherever they passed, the ravens avoided one after another, and a rare "scene" of the crows parting ways appeared in the night sky.

At night, the bright lights in the west of the city were extinguished one by one, and the shops closed one after another.

This is "West Market".

West Market is the largest market in Dagan, covering an area of ​​nearly 3 mu. There are more than [-] shops, large and small, of which nearly half of the shops have Zheng's signboards. The borders are connected and become Zheng's Commercial Street. .

The Zheng family's industrial chain is so large that many of them are not even named by Zheng Xiu himself.

Take out a certain shop alone, and the monthly profit paid to Zheng's family can only barely be regarded as "meager profits".

But there are really too many of these petites, and when they are grouped together, they become a huge monster.

After more than [-] years of development, all walks of life have taken root here and prospered day by day. Therefore, "West Market" has attracted many foreign businessmen from neighboring small countries, such as Loulan, Tubo, Dadang, Zhangtun, etc., to come here to exchange what they need.

And in a corner of the West Market, there is a large commercial firm covering an area of ​​more than one hundred acres, called "Daye Treasure Pavilion".

Fengbei kept a low profile and stepped in silently.

"Sorry, guest, we're closed."

The shopkeeper was a chubby old man. He was bowing his head to settle accounts, when he heard someone stepping into the threshold, he said something in passing.

But when he looked up and saw the special clothes of the visitor, he was shocked and his abacus fell to the ground.

"The villain Yewei Sanqisi! I've met the adults!"

Feng Bei nodded, looking calm and polite: "You don't need to be too polite. Shang Xiansan, Feng Bei, come and check Zhou Ji's body."

The old man froze slightly, his pupils shrank.

He was surprised because of Zhou Ji's body, and secondly because of the identity of the visitor.

Shangxian San, that "foreigner", Shangxian San!
Did not expect to be so young.

Zhou Jiduo died suddenly at home a few days ago. The cause of death was so strange that even the author could not find out the clue.Later, the members of the "Xingxiu" guarded in the city brought soul-chasing lamps to check, and they really smelled the smell of a thaumaturgy committing a crime.It's a pity that it has been too long, and the smell can no longer be traced.

Since it was a thaumaturgy who committed the crime, Zhou Ji's case was not under the yamen's office, let alone the Ministry of Criminal Justice. The hot potato was handed over to Ye Weiyang's Xishi office at the speed of light.

Cases involving thaumaturgy are all mysterious and dangerous, and Guo Zifei dare not intervene.

This is not as simple as being unlucky or not. If you are not careful, you will die.

The shopkeeper who called himself "Yewei [-]" didn't dare to question him, he stepped forward and closed the shop door, when a raven flew from behind the house and stood on his shoulder.

Perhaps because of Feng Bei, the originally quiet raven seemed restless, kicking its paws on the old man's shoulders constantly, and the crow's head swayed from side to side like a convulsion.

It's the legendary Inhuman Winding Three!

Seeing Raven's panic-stricken and disgusted reaction, the shopkeeper knew what he was doing, his fat body trembled slightly, and he swiftly lifted the delicate fabric curtain on the wall, and pushed open a secret door.

The back of the secret door leads to the underground, and an ice cellar is built below it, which is used as a mortuary.

Zhou Ji died for more than ten days, if he hadn't been placed in the ice cellar, he would have rotted away.

The corpses preserved in the ice cellar did not have much peculiar smell.

"What did you find out?"

"Returning to Lord Shangxian, the foreman in the city conducted a careful autopsy and said that Zhou Ji was listless and his eyes were swollen before his death. It was obviously due to the loss of kidney qi and he died of exhaustion. But later, Lord "Xingxiu" used the soul-chasing lamp to investigate and indeed found out There are traces of 'thaumaturgy' performing spells." The old man replied in detail: "But at that time, because Zhou Ji had been dead for too long, or because the caster was highly skilled in thaumaturgy, the soul-seeking lamp could not carry out the next step of tracking."

Feng Bei nodded calmly, pushed open the coffin lid, and looked at the corpse.

A simple inspection showed that there was nothing unusual about the surface of Zhou Ji's body, just as Wu made a report.

Yewei Sanqisi was the first time he saw a high-level investigator without a soul-chasing lamp or a raven, and he was very curious about Fengbei's investigation methods.

"What do you find about Zhou Ji's belongings, family members, and residence?" Feng Bei looked at the corpse, paused for a moment, and then asked: "Some of the ways that Ye Weiyang discovered, such as musicians, fortune-tellers, actors, Demons, gods, witches, etc., can take people's lives from a distance, have you checked all these possibilities?"

The fat shopkeeper wiped the cold sweat from his forehead, wondering to himself.Obviously this person looks like a fairy, gentle and elegant, but standing behind her, the old man has the illusion that his heart is held by invisible hands, which makes the old man feel palpitations and chest tightness, and feel uncomfortable all over.

"Back to the third master, it is written in the case file that it has been checked."

"Who wrote the case file?"

"It's Master 'Void Mouse' of the 28 Constellations."

"So it's Xushu." Feng Bei frowned, but didn't say anything in front of the fat shopkeeper.

But Fengbei knew that Xu Shu was a person who wanted to be promoted to the position of December, so he was careless and eager for quick success, so it was not reliable.

While speaking, the fat shopkeeper had already prepared to present the case.

Feng Bei quickly flipped through the case file.

In the ice cellar, only Feng Bei's "swish, swish" sound remained when he quickly turned the pages.

suddenly.

Feng Bei's fingertips froze on one of the pages.

"It says here that among Zhou Ji's belongings, there is a safety kit. What is it?"

The old man wiped off his sweat: "Go back to Master San, it says on it that the kit is empty."

"He wrote it, but why is it empty?"

"This... subordinates don't know."

"Okay." Feng Bei closed the case, Chao Yewei smiled slightly and said, "Thank you."

Fengbei's sudden politeness made the fat shopkeeper a little flattered.She asked the fat shopkeeper to go out to rest and warm himself by the fire, and she checked again by herself.

After the fat shopkeeper happily left.

Feng Bei silently took off the glove of his right hand, revealing that fair palm.

Feng Bei's five fingers were slender and looked weak.

"call……"

In the ice cellar, Feng Bei lightly relieved the turbid air, and spit out a jet of white mist.I saw her slowly pulling up her long hair covering her right eye, revealing that strange eye.

Deep in the pupils, there are two words - "Ding Wei"!
Feng Bei looked at Zhou Ji's head, feeling faintly.

"Hiding there?"

She turned her head to look at Zhou Ji's head, and slowly reached out.

suddenly.

Zhou Ji, who had been dead for a long time, opened his eyes without warning, and black hair grew strangely on his bruised and shriveled body.Zhou Ji had been dead for many days, his pupils had long since melted and turned pale, but at this moment, around the whites of Zhou Ji's eyes, there were strands of black threads strangely covering them, like thin strands of hair!

"Zhou Ji" had black lines in his eyes, fine black hair all over his body, and a ferocious face, he rushed towards Fengbei.

Fengbei: "?"

……

Not long ago.

Zheng house.

The moon shines brightly.

On the roof in the distance, three or two night guards were watching boredly.

Ravens hovered in the sky.

"Is there anything unusual in the Zheng family?"

"Half an hour ago, a child went in."

Several people communicated secretly.

"Children? What else?"

"If you have to say that there is something strange, there was a melody coming from Zheng's house just now."

"Singapore."

"Yes, it's a very famous song in heaven and earth, it's called "Evening Singing by Fishing Boats"."

"Hey! I've always loved that song."

"Hiss, so you are also a frequent visitor in the heaven and earth?"

"Hehe, I'm a senior member."

"It's a coincidence, so am I."

"Cough cough." The other silent Ye Wei couldn't listen anymore, and coughed twice.

In fact, he is also a senior member.

But who can I tell about this?Hidden merit and fame.

"It's all right, let's keep watching, don't miss any movement."

A few people showed embarrassment, nodded, continued to follow, and became professional again.

……

Inside Zheng's house.

Zheng Xiu heard that Erniang was seriously ill, so he rushed out of the lobby and went straight to Erniang's bedroom.

Qing Shisan and the others chased after them, seeing the children walking in the winding corridors of Zheng's residence with ease, their hearts were sure.

As expected of Mr. Zheng's illegitimate son, he is so familiar with the internal structure of Zheng's house.

Zheng Erniang lived in the small courtyard in the East Wing. When Zheng Xiu went straight into the archway, there was no one in the courtyard, but Zheng Xiu's eyebrows twitched and he stopped.

[Bad Boy] is equipped with five traits, in addition to the initial three [Inspiration], [Stealth], and [Boxing], the other two are equipped with [Detection] and [Intuition] which are at the entrance level.

[Intuition] Stunned, Zheng Xiu raised his eyes and vaguely saw a few thin figures hiding in the dark.

"My little master! Slow down! Slow down!"

Qing Shisan followed steadily, the young master's pace made him amazed, but Qing Shisan frowned and didn't ask carefully.When the young master stepped into the arch, he just remembered that someone was squatting inside, puffed his cheeks, and whistled.

Long and short whistles only echoed in the courtyard, and those figures lurking in the dark faded away.

"fraternity?"

Zheng Xiu was stunned for a moment, and he understood the code word from the whistle. He didn't expect Qingpi to deploy many Brotherhood assassins in Zheng's house. The matter seemed to be one or two more serious than what Zheng Xiu thought.After walking again, Zheng Xiu dropped a [Investigation] by the way.

[Successful investigation. 】

The investigation results told him that there were six people lurking in the dark.

Although the results of the investigation are dispensable, Zheng Xiu was slightly stunned by the words that appeared in front of his eyes.

[You gain meager experience through careful observation and investigation. 】

[Reconnaissance] stuck at the "Entering the Hall" level can gain experience again.

Obviously, all his derived abilities and the trait levels of his incarnation are closely related to the depth of the [Prisoner's Path].

But to Zheng Xiu's surprise, in addition to ghosts, avatars can also gain experience through various behaviors when they travel outside in the form of "fugue tour".

Thinking about it, it is also very reasonable.

Now Zheng Xiu is concerned about Zheng Erniang's safety, he has no joy in his heart, and has no intention of making more attempts, so he hurriedly pushed away Zheng Erniang's boudoir.

Qing Shisan is in the courtyard, he can enter other houses, but Zheng Erniang's room is really inconvenient for him.

So he silently took out the dry tobacco from behind, lit it, and puffed out the clouds.

"Thirteen, what do you think?"

Ji Hongou crossed her legs, and the long skirt of an ordinary woman was slit to the height of her thighs. She sat on the wall, her smooth toes curled up, and her posture was calm.But looking at her expression, she was not as relaxed as her posture.

"eccentric."

Qing Shisan Hanyan shook the tobacco rod, shattered the smoke ring, and slowly spit out two words.

Ji Hongou nodded, deeply convinced: "It's weird."
